At one time this land was privately owned by a lumbar company but was recently acquired by the Bitterroot National Forest. With help from Ravalli County Off Road User Association, two long loops were designated for motorized use. Both loops are marked with brown carsonite posts that are labled with directional arrows and vehicle type.

A small staging area is located near the end of Sleeping Child Road but caution is advised for those with trailers/RVs as there is currently no developed parking areas.

Be sure to thank the Ravalli County Off Road User Association and the Bitterroot National Forest for these awesome new trails.
